5 Nintendo Games We Desperately Want to See on Smartphones

Here are 10 legendary Nintendo games we want Nintendo to make available for mobile devices:

Super Mario Bros.
This is the one that started it all.
Mario (or Jump Man as he used to be called) has been a beloved video-game character for more than one generation, since Nintendo first introduced him in Donkey Kong in 1981. Since then, he's gone on to star in countless games with his brother Luigi and a cast of other characters.
The character is such a big star, he has been featured in his own movie (albeit one not well-received), as well as several TV shows, including The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! with "Captain" Lou Albano.
Mario essentially vaulted Nintendo into its current position, having helped sell more than 210 million units around the world, making Super Mario Bros. the best-selling video game franchise of all time.
Zelda
The Legend of Zelda, as the game is actually known, is a game much like Mario: It's about finding a princess. Link, the main character, is usually up to the task of rescuing Princess Zelda from Ganondorf (or Ganon), the leader of a gang known as the Gerudo.

Because of the enormous popularity of Zelda, a ton of games have been made, 17 in total, with more than 67 million copies sold.
There was recently talk of making a live-action Zelda series for Netflix (NFLX - Get Report) , similar to what Game of Thrones has become for HBO.
Mario Kart
Mario Kart has become one of Nintendo's most popular games since its introduction more than 20 years ago.

More than 100 million copies have been sold since the inception of the franchise, which now consists of 11 games, including five for consoles. The most recent game,Mario Kart 8, was released for the Wii U in May. Mario Kart 8 is now being bundled with the Wii U and has been credited with helping drive a resurgence in sales for Nintendo's latest console.
Donkey Kong
There's something inherently fun about a game where you try to escape a giant gorilla whose sole goal is to throw barrels at you to try to kill you.

First introduced in 1981, Donkey Kong has gone on to become another mega franchise for Nintendo, selling more than 40 million copies in a wide variety of games.
Some of the more popular ones include Donkey KongDonkey Kong Jr. and theDonkey Kong Country series.
Coincidentally, Donkey Kong made an appearance in Pixels, a 2015 film about aliens and classic arcade games from the 1980s.
Duck Hunt
Duck Hunt was a popular game made for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES) video game console. (It also came later to the Wii U via the Virtual Console.)

Released in 1984 in Japan and in 1985 in North America, the game is pretty simple. Players use the NES Zapper to shoot down ducks that appear on the screen. Occasionally, there would be two ducks on the screen at once, and players would get three shots to hit the ducks and advance to the next round. If they missed after three shots, the game was over.
